Ben Longshaw - Media Day

[dropbear]

Sorry Mr. Longshaw, one more question (okay maybe a 3 part question)

How does it feel to have your first sack allowed since high school in last night's All American game?
How did you handle that mentally for the rest of the game?
Dave Cinderblock for the Daily Blocker wrote, and I quote "Ben Longshaw was a fluke in college, a product of the system and lack of high level competition. He doesn't have what it takes to succeed at the NSFL level." How do you respond to this?

1 & 2. Honestly, it felt great! The level of competition in college was lower than what I would have liked, but I wanted to remain a local guy. Coming into the All-American Bowl and having a guy get by me woke me up and made me realise that this is the big time now. And what happened after that lightbulb? No one else got by my and I put two defenders on their ass.

3. Dave's a great reporter and he's entitled to his own opinions, he's certainly got a lot of football knowledge, but it seems he's lost a step mentally. If he watched the Bowl game he'd see that I was having no trouble man-handling these 'elite' defenders once my blood got pumping, despite having mostly camp bodies on the line around me.
